I couldn't have a lab in my apartment though(no dog clause anyway). Not enough room. If I had even a smaller house(if it had a garage) I could do it, since I could take the dog running at MSU nearby.
If I could, I'd have a miniture doberman here at the apt.
I think the following story from The Onion illustrates your point: :->
Government Enroachment on Individual Liberties at All-Time High, Says Guy at Party
Sorry, Bella, that doesn't wash.
The problem isn't that the men take themselves too seriously, it's that the women do. Men can take a joke, women file sexual harrassment suits. And I've found that I get into the most trouble with women when they bring up serious issues and I dare to disagree with them.
I've seen many, many American women get visibly upset and outraged with me on the basis of misinterpreting a simple statement that I made in the most far-fetched and outlandish way possible. This isn't even open to debate: women are far more uptight than men.
The typical woman today is unquestionably extroverted -- in a contrived, forced-laugh, false-face kind of way. But if she sees a guy letting his hair down, being vulnerable and having fun, she's like that wife of King David who saw him dancing with the people around the Ark of the Covenant, and felt contempt.
The typical American woman today is intellectually pretentious. She's also emotionally pretentious -- pretending that she 'doesn't need' men -- and then swooning into the arms of any jerk who grabs her and starts kissing.
The average liberal jerk gets drunk or stoned at a party and just sits there mumbling off into empty space -- until he passes out. That's the kind of guy that a modern woman considers 'interesting.'
I have tried all kinds of conversational strategies with single, attractive American women. I have talked about mundane things, I have talked about ships and sealing wax, I have talked about my career, I have avoided talking about my career, I have tried to talk about her, I have tried to let her do the talking -- everything fails. Except one thing: if you comment about how brilliant and perceptive she is, and agree enthusiastically with everything she says -- why, then you're a fascinating and charming genius!
It's like the Garden of Eden every day, with Eve forcing Adam to choose between God and her. All she demands is his integrity, and his worship. Says the Goddess: Thou shalt not have strange gods (integrity, honesty, objectivity) before me.
Moreover, I disagree with your assessment that conservative men obsess about politics to the consernation of women. Conservative men are not the ones who are politically active by choice. We want the State to be reduced, to get out of our lives. It's the 'apolitical' women voters who demand ever more control of private lives -- the virtual politicization of every aspect of life.
Talk to a woman about how the government 'needs' to provide free health care -- and she'll sit mesmerized. What turns women off isn't politics -- it's the linear sequential logic that men use when discussing politics. Talk instead about 'feelings' or 'needs,' and women will be fascinated.
We're not boring and we know how to have fun. It's the women who are boring. All they want to do is talk about themselves -- where they went, what they're doing, what they're wearing, who saw who with whom. It's tedious, it's trivial, it's superficial and most of all, it's self-absorption.
Example: How women take an awe-inspiring, outward-directed subject like astronomy, and transform it into astrology -- a bastardized exercise in self-absorption if ever there was one.
Though there are exceptions, and remarkable ones at that, the typical American woman today is a spoiled little ignorant brat who thinks she's a goddess -- and needs to be spanked.
Come the Revolution, they will be.
This totally went a different way than I expected the title to go.
Surprising. I'd be more inclined to go out with a conservative than a leftie. Maybe her potential dates are under the mistaken impression that conservatives are too tightly wound regarding sex.
I am reminded daily that I am a goddess. But I have been on both ends of the paddle.
Well, it's certainly not her appearance that's holding them off.
Sounds like he also has a syringe. What about love? Or is that too Conservative?
And you sound like a misogynistic whack job. Of course, maybe you're just misunderstood. (Oops, there's than new age kinda guy stuff oozing out again.)
